Erasure Coding is traditionally limited to Archival workloads due to its performance and computational requirements. All Flash Storage changes that and enables Ceph with Erasure Coding to be a viable solution for active workloads as well. You will hear about how Erasure coding and other techniques can be used with Ceph on All Flash Storage to provide the benefits of Flash at affordable costs. We will discuss recent improvements in Ceph to making it a high performance Cinder block Storage solution on Flash, while lowering the overall storage costs.
